Where to stay for a romantic weekend getaway

By Melanie Nonmacher

Hello, beach lovers and history buffs! It's time for another beautiful weekend in our lovely island city, Galveston. If you're planning a romantic getaway with your significant other, you're in luck. Our island is home to an array of unique, charming, and downright dreamy places to stay. So, whether it's for an anniversary, a surprise date, or just because, we've got you covered.

For those looking for a touch of historic grandeur, consider booking a weekend at the Tremont House. This 19th-century hotel exudes Old World charm with its high ceilings, wrought-iron balconies, and hardwood floors. Located in the heart of downtown Galveston, you'll be steps away from local dining, shopping, and our famous Strand Historic District. It's the perfect setting for strolling hand in hand, taking in Galveston's rich history and vibrant culture.

If you want to wake up to the sound of waves, then a beachfront condo or cottage is your best bet. Many of these coastal gems provide breathtaking views of the Gulf and easy access to our sun-kissed beaches. Imagine enjoying a sunrise or sunset from your private balcony, or taking an impromptu moonlit walk along the shore. It doesn't get much more romantic than that, does it?

For a more intimate and secluded experience, why not try a bed and breakfast? Places like Coppersmith Inn B&B and Lost Bayou Guesthouse offer beautifully decorated rooms, personal service, and a homemade breakfast that'll make you feel right at home. These establishments often reside in historic homes, giving you a taste of Galvestonian architecture and a sense of connection to the island's past.

And don't forget about our fantastic local dining scene. From fresh seafood at Gaido's to fine dining at Rudy & Paco's, there's something to satisfy every palate. You might even consider a sunset dinner cruise on the bay for an unforgettable dining experience. After all, nothing says 'romance' quite like dining under the stars with the one you love.

Lastly, be sure to check out our community calendar for seasonal events and happenings during your stay. From Mardi Gras parades to art walks and live music, there's always something fun going on in Galveston. And sharing these experiences with your partner can make your romantic getaway even more special.

Whether it's the captivating history, the laid-back beach living, or the vibrant island culture that draws you to Galveston, your romantic weekend here is sure to be a memorable one. So, come and soak up the love - and the sun - in our charming island city. We can't wait to welcome you!
